e^b = exp(b) = factor change in odds for unit increase in X
e^bStdX = exp(b*SD of X) = change in odds for SD increase in X
SDofX = standard deviation of X
Alternatively, a user might want to interpret the coefficients in terms of their effect on the latent y* that underlies the observed
variable y. Note that to use Iistcoef to compute standardized coefficients does not require that the model be reestimated.

Example with mlogit
A key to fully interpreting the multinomial logit model is to consider all contrasts among the outcome categories. The
standard output from mlogit provides contrast between all outcomes and the category specified by basecategory. Here we
specify the rrr option in order to obtain “relative risk ratios” which are also known as factor change coefficients.
